I am in love with "Bunting Banners!" They are so fun and whimsical to me....anyways, they are easy to make either if you are a sewer, which I am not, so I made one out of scrapebooking paper!

My daughter is away all week at her cousin's...first week long overnight 3 hrs away! So, my other daughter and myself thought we'd welcome her home with a surprise banner in her room. I hope she likes it!!!!

Here it is close up...she's a tween ,so I thought she'd did the skulls and crossbones! See her name on there....so cute!

Doesn't look like paper ....does it!?! I think it turned out well and it took me no time at all. I can imagine doing them for all sorts of holiday decors

I'm sure Zoe will love her banner! How fun! What a nice surprise to come home to. I love the paper idea. My daughter has made some with fabric, which are also easy to make. I may steal your paper idea and make some signs in my future vendor booth :).~ Julie

Hi Cindy - I love how nice your banner turned out and I'm sure Zoe will be surprised. I've been eyeing these for some time now on Etsy but your directions explain just how easy these are to make. The possibilities are endless, especially with all the beautiful paper available. Thanks for sharing. I hope your girls enjoy their first day 'back to school'. Lisa@SuburbanRetreat

As for the live signature, I asked my friend and she used MyLiveSignature. I didn't go through all the steps, but it looks pretty easy. Here is the link to where you type your name and then you can see what fonts they come up with http://www.mylivesignature.com/mls_wizard1_1.php

Not sure if you have to pay for it or not. Looking forward to seeing your signature!

About Me

I love all things beautiful and enjoy being creative.I have always liked old homes and their amazing character that they have.
We bought a 130 yr old farmhouse in the city that we are fixing up as we speak. So, I hope to find inspiration and joy from it.

Welcome to my blog!

I have always loved old homes and buildings. I finally found an old home in the city, close to work and good schools. It is 130 yrs old,but is in pretty good shape structurally.Lots of character, high ceilings, and charm. But it needs updating, so I am documenting our renos. Hopefully, I do this house proud and it turns out the way I intend. One thing I have learned is things dont' happen as fast as I would like...I have to be patient ,and living through messes aren't so great for me ! As my husband always says,"You have to break an egg to make an Omelette!"
Hope you enjoy my journey!
